Danish Radio Symphony Orchestra; Poul Birkelund; Arne Karecki; Ruth Guldbaek; Ellen Margrethe Edlers; Niels Brincker; Niels Moller; Holger Norgaard; Niels Juul Bondo; Danish Radio Choir; Thomas Jensen - The Thomas Jensen Legacy, Vol. 19

Pieces and performances of exceptional historical interest, showing Thomas Jensen's place at the centre of Danish musical culture in the 1950s and 60s. DRSO principals take starring roles in a pair of Nielsen concertos on CD1, which reaches an ecstatic climax in the composer's early cantata in praise of love. CD2 presents a survey of Danish composers from the early-Romantic era to Jensen's own time, including a symphony composed in the aftermath of the Second World War, and two pieces vividly depicting the passing of the seasons.
